“Ohio’s school report cards: What do they really tell us? What should they?: A discussion about how we evaluate our schools”moderated by Patrick O’Donnell, Plain Dealer Education Reporter

Women make up over 51% of the voting electorate and yet men still far outnumber women in elected office in Ohio and across the country. This forum will explore options for increasing the number of women who run and hold elected office, particularly in Ohio.

Some think that single payer healthcare is the answer to our healthcare problems and others think it will bankrupt the country and won’t work. This forum will explore both sides with a particular emphasis on how it might impact Northeast Ohio.

Panelists
John R. Corlett, President and Executive Director, The Center for Community Solutions

This forum will look at the Redistricting issue from a national and local perspective with experts in each area on the panel. We’ll discuss the latest information and the expectations for 2018, the 2020+ census and more
